The transition from socialist dictatorship to liberal democracy in the GDR was associated with political and social upheaval. The transformation accompanying the democratic sociopolitical process is examined using the example of the Association for Neurology and Psychiatry of the GDR, which led to its unification with the German Association for Psychiatry and Neurology (DGPN).
For the historical investigation material from the archives of the DGPPN as well as the personal belongings of the protagonists of the time were used and eyewitness interviews were conducted.
The transformation process can also be seen for the Association for Neurology and Psychiatry of the GDR. As at the political level, there was also a loss of legitimacy at the board level of the Association for Psychiatry and Neurology in 1990. The new understanding of democracy required the participation of all members. The Spokesman Council and the DGPN (East) were responsible for establishing and consolidating democratic structures.
Beyond the transformation process, little is known about the merger. The phase of reorientation at the beginning of the 1990s should be examined for the DGPN as well as the question of how to deal with the suspected political abuse of psychiatry in the GDR.
民主德国从社会主义专政向自由民主的转变伴随着政治和社会动荡。以民主德国神经病学与精神病学协会为例，研究民主社会政治进程中的变革，该协会后来与德国精神病学与神经病学协会（DGPN）合并。
为进行历史调查，使用了DGPPN档案中的资料以及当时主要人物的个人物品，并进行了目击者访谈。
民主德国神经病学与精神病学协会也经历了变革过程。与政治层面一样，1990年精神病学与神经病学协会董事会层面也出现了合法性丧失的情况。对民主的新理解要求所有成员参与。发言人委员会和DGPN（东部）负责建立和巩固民主结构。
除了变革过程，对合并情况了解甚少。应研究20世纪90年代初DGPN的重新定位阶段以及如何处理民主德国精神病学疑似政治滥用问题。
